Discussions at the M&A courtyard. Speakers will expound on the general theme of this lecture series: the blurring and redrawing of conventional boundaries between public and private space, art and architecture, technical and non-technical practices, social and commercial concerns. Inspired by the pseudo-private situation of M&A's outdoor exhibition space, and the dissolution of boundaries it connotes, these lectures will organize around discussions of new cultural zones and forms.
